MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 19

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to fully examine the following measures for possible inclusion in the draft planning scheme for the expected new Clonburris SDZ:

Firstly, the following transport-related measures which were previously proposed in motions approved at the March & April 2014 meetings of this Committee:

• -Measures to improve traffic flow along the stretch of Griffeen Avenue, between the Griffeen Road roundabout and Grangecastle Road junction, including the possible widening of the road corridor so as to provide for both an additional lane approaching the traffic lights and the recessing of the bus stops;
• -The possible provision of a park-and-stride car-park to serve both Griffeen Valley & Lucan East Educate Together schools;
• -The possible provision of a pedestrian/cycle 'green route' directly linking the Griffeen Centre/primary schools area with both the new Kishogue Community College and Kishogue rail station;

Secondly, the provision of parkland on the former Shelbourne lands, including playing pitches to serve Griffeen Valley & Lucan East Educate Together schools and the new Kishogue Community College;

Thirdly, to ensure that any housing to be provided on the Clonburris SDZ lands should:

• - consist of no more than 10% social & affordable housing provision in line with the revised Part V required announced by Government.
• - align with the densities provided for in the revised Adamstown SDZ planning scheme adopted by the elected members earlier this year; and
• - with specific respect to the former Shelbourne lands, any housing provided should be predominantly two-storey, with limited three-story development at appropriate locations."

REPORT:

A Transport Assessment will form a key element of the Clonburris SDZ Scheme Review. This work will be carried out in collaboration with the National Transport Authority. It will be subject to a statutory process and individual transport related measures will emerge as part of that process. Similarly, open space and parks provision will be important elements of the review process. Housing provision will align with South Dublin County Council Housing Strategy. The emerging scheme will require a range of measures further to all of the above. Any such measures will be implemented as necessary and will be subject to a statutory public consultation process. They will also open to review by An Bord Pleanala on appeal. Cognisance will be taken of the outcome of the reccent Adamstown SDZ review process.
